B Corp Clinic

Our innovative B Corp Clinic is the first of its kind. Team up with students to work toward strengthening your social and environmental impact.

The B Corp Clinic

For the last eight years, the NC State B Corp Clinic has helped over 100 companies from around the world improve their social and environmental impact. Whether you’re a traditional business working to become more sustainable, an aspiring B Corp pursuing certification or a certified B Corp focused on continuous improvement, the B Corp Clinic can help!

Each company is matched with a team of interdisciplinary students from academic institutions across North Carolina. The team uses the B Impact Assessment (BIA), as a tool to measure and drive impact. The BIA is a free, confidential platform designed to help measure and manage your company’s positive impact on your workers, community, customers and environment.

B Corp Movement: Transforming the global economy to benefit all people, communities, and the planet

The B Corp Clinic has worked with over 480 students on 108 projects and helped companies make progress on over 2,500 points towards certification, including 34 companies that have become B Corp Certified. Since Fall 2019 the B Corp Clinic has been part of a sustainable business strategy course MBA 582: B Corp Clinic Sustainability Practicum, open to graduate students across NC State.
